There was something to be said about looking for a man where you're most likely to find him, and Griff wasn't in the Gym, brig or the Cafeteria. He pursed his lips and brought a hand up to his chin. Did Griff float off into space? Did Arrish just make him up as an imaginary person in his brain? No, no, none of that made any sense to him. Griff had to be somewhere... the showers..? Arrish shuddered thinking of how long it had taken him to clean up both the men's and the women's bathroom. What if Griff fell into the same trap he had... that was crazy thought, right? He harrumphed and determined that if Griff couldn't be found in any of his normal haunts than he must of learned that you can fight Cruxi in the simulations.

Arrish was determined to find the blonde, and nothing was going to stop him.

Nothing except the past. He had been walking along just fine at a quickened pace, rounding the corner when he heard the voice of Ava pick up. Ah, maybe she had seen Griff! He quickly turned the corner with a hand raised and a smile on his face when he froze, perfectly still, with neither limbs nor smile leaving his face. There he was, the picture perfect representation of what Arrish feared to become. He was of course talking about the one and only prince Astolfo Wilhelm Bugatti, affectionately known as Bug.

A million scenario's ran through Arrish's head a second and he settled on squaring his shoulders, walking up to bug with his hands held out in an embrace to hug his old friend. [color red] "Bug! It's so good to see you! What a surprise! I haven't seen you since, oh what was her name, your dear sister Lucy! Oh, but she would just kill me if I called her that. How is Princess Lucrezia, hm? and how are you?  It's good to see you in such good health, my good man."[/color] Arrish would hug the man tightly, almost too tight, because he [s]hated[/s] loved him so much.
